Again a post about Haskell performances

I've found an interesting article describing how to make an Haskell program run as fast as the OCaml version, which is often regarded as the workhorse among FP languages. Three points grabbed my attention the most:
  1. ghc 6.8 seems to boost the performances of Haskell programs: in some cases the benchmarks show programs run twice as faster as those compiled with ghc 6.6.
  2. Faster Haskell programs are written similarly to OCaml version.
  3. OCamls versions are no longer than their Haskell versions.
Something to think about!

"Making Haskell programs faster and smaller"

I've just found this article through a nice blog about programming languages. Haven't read it yet, but surely something to put apart!
